- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, or a lid, and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together and the dip to chill.
- Transfer the BLT dip to a serving dish and place it onto a serving platter. Surround the bowl of dip with a variety of dippers; tortilla chips, baguette slices, potato chips, pita chips (soft pita or crunchy chips), fresh vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, cucumbers), crackers, or pretzels.
Notes
Chill Time : I would not recommend refrigerating the dip for more than 2 hours before serving it. The lettuce will soften more as it sits in the fridge longer, that's why up to 2 hours is good - it allows time for the dip to chill, the flavors to blend, and the lettuce will stay crisp-soft even during that fridge time.
Serving Tip : Reserve some, or add extra, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, and crispy chopped bacon to the top of the dip for serving.
